Nathanael said to Jesus, “How do You know [these things about] me?” Jesus answered, “Before Philip called you, when you were still under the fig tree, I saw you.” John 1:48, The Amplified Bible 

 

Hebrews: 12 For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to [a]judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom [b]we must answer. 

When Jesus said that he saw Nath under the fig tree, he obviously did not mean that physically; he saw inside the Nath's heart. let us look at Hebrews 4:12-13; 12 God's word iss alive and working and is sharper than a double-edged sword. It cuts all the way into us, where the soul and the spirit are joined, to the center of our joints and bones.

Under fig tree's cool Leafy umbrella's vacuum.... Privacy prevails My thoughts turn to Jesus when He knew Nathanael was there
Written: July 29, 2022 After picking a few figs on July 28th, when I walked inside the fig bush/tree's canopy a coolness and peace settled over me.
